Hi! I'm Danielle Crane and I'm the Director of Operations at St. Michael's. My role is to provide the leadership necessary to develop and maintain operations processes, facilities, and technology for the St. Michael's Campus.

I've been a parishioner at St. Michael’s since 2014. In that time I have volunteered as a catechist in elementary faith formation (teaching kindergarten and second grade). I have also participated in the Walking With Purpose program as both a small group leader and a small group participant.

I have a bachelor's from The Catholic University of America in Architecture and a Master's in Regional Planning from The University of Massachusetts-Amherst. I have worked in the construction management/commercial real estate industry for almost two decades. I'm originally from Rhode Island and have been married since 2006. I am mom to Lillian and James - both of whom are very active in school sports (soccer and cross country). Outside of work my hobbies include carpentry, reupholstery, and art & design. Harry Connick, Jr. is my all-time most favorite musical artist.

My favorite Bible verse is 1 Peter5:7 - Cast all of your anxieties on Him, for He cares for you. My favorite worship artist is Brother Isaiah -- "Come Follow Me" is a family favorite.

I'm so blessed to be able to work in the field that I have a love and passion for and to be able to do it and use those skills to be able to serve the parish and my fellow parishioners is even more rewarding. I have gotten to know so many of our wonderful parishioners since joining staff. My daily interactions with them always provide me with such joy and reconfirm that the Holy Spirit will always lead you to where God intends for you to be.

Please do not hesitate to reach out if I can be of assistance in your experience on campus!
